Bendis character-building in the issue was well done and was very entertaining. The art team did just a great job putting this issue together. This series continues to be one of the top current X-men series. The stories are driven and entertaining that you'll never put it down. This issue keeps delivering and it is a must read. My top pick this week.

Bendis concludes the introduction of X-23 and her revenge for the Purifiers. It had some shining moments but not a big impact as the previous stories. The art team was splendid with pages full of details and superb character emotions. It might not be an important part to the grander part of the series but it is worth a look if you want to treat your eyes to nice things.

Slott ensure us he has not lost a step in the year time he has not written Peter. He establishes the Amazing Spider-Man feel while placing him in a new status quo. Ramos's and Delgado's exaggerated arts and colors are on top and fitting to the return of the amazing series. A great set up for old and new readers that will bring the character to a new direction. This issue is packed at 96 pages of fantastic stories that is the perfect start to another historical run.

Slott has started the gears that will drive us into Spider-Verse this issue. He accomplishes to address all the known and hidden plot lines in one issue. Slott works magic with Silk and creates a character that we'll fall for rather she's good or evil. I'll go on record to say that this art team is the Marvel dream team. Together, there are no better visuals in a book. This issue continues to deliver and prove why Amazing Spider-Man is Marvel's #1 series.

Very little action but it was full of story. Answers to questions we all had is what lifts this issue up from it's lack of action. Aaron shows he has many sides to his writing style and it was a delightful change of pace. McGuinness' and Garcia' art in the series is fantastic.The art just jumps off the pages and needs to been seen if you haven't yet. There are a few X-books out but this month Amazing X-men #4 is truly the amazing one.

This issue was nothing short from epic. As Armor Hunters comes to a close, Venditti shows us the different sides of war. In the end both sides lose something but can also gain something valuable. Braithwaite and Martin finish off the series strong with action and expressive pages that will make you drool. Valiant definitely delivers a summer blockbuster and shows us the event books are capable being great.

SO GOOD! Snyder writes the tribute to all thing Batman with zero year. It is his love letter to Batman that is expressed by the amazing art from Capullo, Miki, and Fco. The Bat art team are powering through and there is no stopping their visual gorgeousness. If you love any forms of Batman then this is a no brainier. BUY!

This is a year 1 story that is jaw dropping and gripping. Another amazing issue by the Bat team. Synder gives us answers to some questions and more insight on Bruce's past while setting up more mysteries to explore. Capullo is showing his fans how much he appreciate us with his art being 110% every time but he is bested by Fco this issue. This book sells itself but if you ask me, This series has been on top of the charts week after week. This issue is no different and it is a must buy!

The creative team deliver one of the most important issue in this weekly series. Big questions were answers that even the character in the books were left shocked. The writing hit it's stride this issue and Lucas provide some solid art work. This weekly is heating up and if you haven't been keep up then now the time to pull this series..

Remender continues to take my money. His creator owns series have not failed to captivate me. This issue is full of character and plot developments that are paving the way to the origin of the series. Scalera and White are just killing the art. The make dark worlds look pretty. Black Science #3 is high intense action that can't be missed! If you need a new series this is the one to grab this week.

Edmondson has captured Black Widow's essence in this first issue. Emotional and action packed. Noto is the perfect complement to Edmondson's writing. The art was elegant and smooth. This book is fun and entertaining! This is definitely my "Hawkeye" series. Pick this up and you won't be disappointed.

Edmondson has written a fantastic issue full of emotions and character development. He has shown us that Black Widow is more than an avenger and assassin. She is still normal within her own right like us folks. Noto just owns this issue with the colorful art work and the panel layouts. Noto was born for this book and I am glad to see him on it. If you are not reading this book yet then you are missing out on possibly one of the best series of 2014! I strongly recommend reading Black Widow.

Remender is looking to close this series on a bang literally! Remender bringing back Dimension Z helps the series get back on the must read list. He provided a Captain America story with little involvement of the character himself and succeeded in captivating me. The art team provided great art and colors while delivering free flowing high-octane action.This issue will show why Sam Wilson "The Falcon" is the very qualified person to take the mantle.

Bendis and Bagley deliver a great start to the end of the Ultimate universe. It is only fitting that the creators of this universe are the ones to end it. The action is fast and hard hitting with beautiful splash pages. The threat to the ultimate universe feels all to real. You will pick up this issue and not be disappointed. It will only leave you with hunger for more.

I believe Remender has another hit with this series. It is off to a great start with Marcus's character development and plot. I look forward to finding out more about the other characters. They all have a little something to them and is hard to pick a favorite since they all sound cool. The art team own this book. The art is full of action packed scenes and a subtle 80′s feel. I highly recommend this series! It is only the first issue but it is already fast, crazy and full of nostalgia! My pick of the week!

Remender and Craig created a story that no one should sleep on. The 80′s have not looked better until this series. Remender continues to deliver pieces of Marcus life to us and keep the mystery going while creating a fun and dark adventure. Willie is an interesting character that will continue to develop as the series goes on. Loughridge's colors are captivating and keeps painting the 80′s for those who missed it. Don't miss the 80′s again and pick up this book!

Tom Taylor leads of strong with his debut issue. The issue does not lose any momentum from the last. Nicola Scott does a tremendous job on every page and reminds you that this book is awesome. I don't need to sell this book to you because it sells itself!

Taylor continues to ride the chaos of Earth-2 and not stopping. I am really enjoying this alternate Earth and Taylor was the right choice for this book. The art team is amazing and continue to bring us the war for Earth with fantastic art. If you were to pick up one team book make it Earth 2

Wilson gives you a familiar Earth 2 type of story on a different Earth that could have been delivered more easily. Still the overall issue was enjoyable and the art team nailed this issue and is worth the read. Me not being able to follow the story well hinder what could have been a great issue but still a solid one.

Hine and Sapolsky start Edge of Spider-Verse with a fantastic issue that will not disappoint new and old fans. They provided a perfect example of a jump on point into an established universe. This issue will also increase your desire to continue reading Spider-Verse and finding what the next part of this story is. Isanove's art is gorgeous and he truly brings the Noir world alive. A must have if you're a comic fan!

Manapul and Buccellato has a fun detective story that makes me want to follow more adventures of powerless Barry Allen or Harvey Bullock. Sprouse brings fun and cartoony art that I would enjoy seeing more of and would flourish if he drew an issue or two of Batman Beyond. Not a strong artistic finish but the story keeps this issue above average.

The writing team hit the floor running and have me excited about the new direction. Venditti and Jensen might just be the right guys to take over the Flash after Manapul and Buccellato. The art is fantastic and explosive. Booth and Rapmund delivered a very kinetic issue but Dalhouse's coloring really was superb. If you were wondering about The Flash, then don't because this issue went above and beyond. A can't miss issue!

It is great to see that being a Zero Year tie in, it was not all about Batman. In fact, he had a minimal role that allows for the exploration of Diggle as a supporting Green Arrow character. Lemire is still delivering great issues after issues. The art team of Sorrentino and Miaolo is spectacular. If you ignored this series before, now is the time to join! Start with issue #17

Lemire does a good job kicking off the Outsiders War storyline. He has laid down the foundation that will result in an explosive climax. Sorrentino continues to deliver but Maiolo's color stole the spot light. Treat yourself by picking up this issue.

Lemire has made this book the can't miss series. The outsiders war is heating up and Lemire shows no sign of slowing down. Sorrentino and Maiolo are a team to be wrecked with. This art team just keeps getting better at delivering mind blowing art and story telling. If you are not reading, stop what you are doing and pick up this issue and the series from issue #17. You will love it!

Soule and Venditti balance the cross over well. They both bridge to each other without a hitch. The art is top notch on both series and are can't miss. This concept was produced perfectly. The cross over is contained to these 2 issues and won't force the reader to buy an extra book to follow it. Although I urge that you try both series. They are great and I, myself, will start picking up Red Lanterns. Buy this issue because you can't go wrong with 2 for 1.

Brownfield has some strong points and ideas but he did not executed them well. Osnaya's and Zaldivar's art was just short of making this issue a whole lot stronger but still turned in some decent visuals. I am not gonna miss this arc at all and I am hoping the next has a bigger impact.

Gregory writes a crazy story with many plot lines going on at once. The art team is a great combination that fits the book well. Wonderland is chaotic and crazy that is fitting for fans of crossed; not fitting for me.

Connor & Palmiotti have gained my loyalty and ensured that I continue to pick up the issues. They are the perfect combo that can produce Harley Quinn in perfect form. This issue was a lot of non stop fun! Hardin's art with Sinclair's colors is a visual galore. If you were not sure about picking up another new series, have no fear this is a guarantee hit!

Connor & Palmiotti provide another hilarious issue with the hint of violence. Hardin and Sinclair continues to give the readers beautiful arts in every panel that keeps you coming for more. A must buy issue!

Connor & Palmiotti continues to carve this series into the New 52. It keeps me entertain every month and it is the funny book I look forward to month after month next to Red Lanterns. The hijinks violence and great art work put this issue on the top of my pile. If you need a Valentine release then pick up this issue.

This issue is my favorite of the event. Hickman knocks it out of the ballpark wait no, out of this universe with this strong and heart felt issue. The art team has conveyed Hickman's script into a powerful work of imagery that will leave you stun. If you have to pick up one book this week this is it! The march to Avengers World begins now.

Hickman has shown us that the Avengers is more than just a team but something symbolic that goes beyond Earth. This series was truly an Avengers type event that should be a strong example of what a comic book event should be. Cheung and Weaver teamed up to bring a stunning work of art to an end. If I learned anything from this series is that Cheung and Weaver need books to work on monthly! A great read that should not be passed on.

Soule continues to introduce the players of his story. I know some people are worried about how the story is developing but I feel that he is almost done placing all his characters. These new characters are fun and interesting which will keep you reading along with the fantastic art of Stegman and Gracia. The dialogue between Medusa and Thor alone is enough to raise your interest into the Inhumans. If you are looking for that creator own feeling with a Marvel twist then don't miss out on Inhuman!

Soule tells a story driven issuethat is entertaining and with a sense of fun. We got to learn more on the nuhuman Jason and more reason to like Medusa. The art team is stellar and delivers a great looking issue. I can't stress this enough, if you're looking for something new in the superhero department then this creative team has got you covered!

Kirkman is a master of his craft. He told several stories that were easy to follow. It was quite enjoyable. This book could not look any better without the current art team. Ryan and John feed your eyes fanatic imagery. A fantastic issue! Don't miss out on this issue, you'll regret it.

Johns gives us another two crazy origins and a deeper understanding of Owlman's motive. This issue was quite entertaining and helps progress the story forward. It seems that the story will be escalating very soon. The art for the most part is great. It is nice to see Mahnke and his team back together to bring us a artistic story. This Forever tie-in is a can't miss!

Johns issue was provided a lot of interesting information that sets a few character developments in motion that I am very excited for. The art was impressive and was my favorite issue to admire (since I read it twice in one sitting to enjoy the art) This book can use a little more action and pacing from Forever Evil but it is still a must read issue to fully gauge the event.

Overall, the new creative team is a welcoming change. The issue was action packed and filled with usual Moon Knight antics. Wood definitely has the voice down for the character but I am looking forward to see what new things he can bring to the series. Smallwood and Bellaire on art both bring a new and familiar feel to the book that is worth keeping the series on the pull list. Unfortunately I struggled a bit with the story as little was given but I am hoping the next issue has more answers.

Higgins writes an interesting Zero Year issue. Exploring a young Dick Grayson was a fun read. Conrad and Pantazis keep producing visually great issue after issue after issue. If you left the series before now is the perfect time to come back. Pick up this issue!

Duggan's first issue is tons of fun. It is obvious that he understands the character and will provide us with great stories. The art is fantastic as usual with Medina's pencils being very detailed. Curiel's color is something to be praised. This issue is so fun that I could not put it down! If you want fun adventures with a good laugh then look no further than Nova.

DeConnick is a masterful writer in her creator own series. This series is chilling, compelling, and adventurous. She has intertwined the characters with the perfect balance. Rios and Bellaire are the best team up to happen since peanut butter and jelly. We know how successful that has turned out. If you are looking for an Eisner type series then Team Pretty Deadly has you covered. A must buy issue this week!

DeConnick delivers another hit issue. This issue was full of emotions and actions to keep all kinds of readers satisfied. Rios and Bellaire are a formidable art team. The pages are detailed and dynamic that they can steal your breath away. This is a can't miss series and this issue will leave you wanting more. Buy this issue now! and pre-order the future ones at your local comic shop.

A funny issue all around. Simone is revitalizing the character and taking the series to a top book to read list. Simone establishes Sonja as the legend and feared character of this age without losing a beat in her humorous style. The art continues to set up the story perfectly. Highly detailed art makes you feel like you can not only see what is happening but hear and feel the panels. This series continues to rise for Dynamite and she be a great read for old and new readers.

Shard does great work with the storytelling. His plot development has me curious and wanting more. He is paired with a prominent art team of Watts and Sawyer. They bring a distinct visual presence that I want to see more of as well. This issue has an ending that you won't see coming and that is reason enough to pick it up today. Can't wait for the next volume!

Yost has turned a monster into a hero and I am glad I came for the ride. The series has been a delight and the most underrated series the last 2 years. Unfortunately, Yost does not make a grand exit but has a quiet walk away that leaves you at peace. The art team was stellar and I hope to see them again soon. If you haven't read the series yet, pick up the trades because there is some amazing stories in this series. Pick this issue up and follow Yost& Kaine in New Warriors #1 this February!

Cindy is one of the newest character to join the expanding Marvel universe. It expands on many level with the increase in racially diverse characters such as Kamela Khan and Miles Morales,and more leading women such as Thor and Angela. Cindy is a great addition to this group and the creative team came out with a strong debut. If you are looking for a fun and personal experience, then this is your book. Great things are coming from this series!

Supergirl has found a new home with the new creative team. Bedard has brought Supergirl back to her roots of being a kryptonian without a place in the world. I can see that he is placing seeds for an adventure we will all remember. Cinar is impressive and more with Brown's colors. This series is looking towards a bright future that you should not miss! If you are looking for a jump on issue well look no further.

Bedard tells the story that will have Kara seeing red. Very strong dialogue at times that shows the anger in Supergirl. Cinar and the rest of the art team do an amazing job providing some very character focus panels that are eye popping good. It seems that this arc is driving towards the main attraction and the series will pick up once it is there. Worth the read.

I admit that I was not enjoying Super Girl constantly complaining and her focus on how the universe is out to get her. I realize that this was Bedard's master plan. He broke down the character in order to rebuild and more away from that association. This issue will finally bring Super Girl to a reemergence of hope and clarity that will keep the readers at her side. If you're a fan of the character then I guarantee you"ll enjoy this issue as much as I did.

Dan is owning this book. I can feel the superiority coming off the pages. Ryan and the rest of the 2099 crew are a team to be reckon with. This book is a visual delight. I am glad this series ships twice a month or I would really have a withdraw. Keep up the great job! Everyone should check this issue out or you'll cause a time disruption!

This was a grand finale that promised us a change in status quo and delivered. Slott has a great handle on this issue and the series all together. Stegman, Livesay, and Delgado are turning in awesome pages each time. This issue will answer questions and open new ones that set up future stories.I can't wait! This issue is a must have!

Slott carries the pacing well when going from crazy battle scenes to more quieter panels. The dialogues changes tones appropriately and balances the overall story excellently. The art team put all the seams together to form this visual beast of an issue. The art from the pencilers, inkers, and colorists are beyond fantastic. The series momentum is carrying into Goblin Nation and you should definitely join for the ride.

Johns is bringing a classic feel mixed in with the new. It is great to feel like I am reading Superman again. People talk about John Romita Jr. losing his passion. Well it is safe to say that John got his groove back. This is one of the best Superman work I have seen since the New 52 launched. Now is the right time to get back into the series and believe again.

Soule provides a familiar Superman and Wonder Woman for those pre 52 readers. This story is going great as it builds up to the return of one familiar enemy. The art team is on a superior level. The pencils and colors are breathtaking. If you're looking for a dynamic and nostalgic feel to these two characters then Soule and Tony have you covered

This is still the Superman book that I prefer reading. It is also the Wonder Woman I prefer reading. Soule is writing a strong beginning to the series and this issue is great as well. The relationship dynamic keeps you in your seat but the art team is what brings it all together visually. This is the team up that Batman/Superman should be jealous of.

Soule can do no wrong so far. Lots of personal exploration and character development that sets up the upcoming events. Daniel and Siqueira are a super team on pencils with a great job by their colorists. This issue had emotions and action with a well paced story. Pick this issue up for a great read!

Landis prove that a hero is not made up of superhuman feats alone but as well as a life time of unheroric experiences that can one day craft a young man into someone super. Jones and Renzi make Clark's adventure a colorful and thrilling memory that you'll want to relive time and time again. Don't miss out!

Jensen's and Pimienta's passion for this book shows greatly. Jensen writes a fun and compelling Spaghetti Western that takes you through many emotions and adventures. Pimienta and Petz do an amazing job making us feel like we are in 1938 Mexico with colorful art. This is a great way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Jensen's new venture. Don't let this one get away because it is a sure hit!

This issue is the definition of fun action packed story. Kindt keeps the momentum going for the Unity team and creating the new buddy cop team of Ninjak and Gilad. Artist Segovia does a superior job on art creating an intricate environment and bombastic fighting scenes that explodes in every pages. This is a sure hit! If you have room this week, pick it up and the rest of Unity. Armor Hunter is building to something big, so make sure you're there to see it!

Brubaker writes at his finest with Velvet #3. He projects characters personality all so well while giving you the spy thrilling adventure. Epting and Breitweiser are the right combination. The art is sleek and dark setting a mysterious mood that complements the story on a superior level. I can recommend this book forever! really go buy this! This series is Intelligent, Sexy and All kinds of bad fun. A Must have!

It is no wonder that Robert Venditti is handling books like Green Lantern and X-O Manowar. The man knows his emotions and how to displayed them on pages. Solid dialogue with great artwork by Bernard and Fajardo combines for a pleasant finish in the Armor Hunter saga. A nice change of pace from the chaos is needed every now and then.
